Goals and Work Portfolios

As a Computer Science student at York University’s Lassonde School of Engineering, I stand at the intersection of technology and innovation, driven by a vision to create meaningful impact through software development and artificial intelligence. My journey is shaped by a unique blend of technical expertise, critical thinking, and a deep appreciation for interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solving.

My current focus centers on three key competencies that I believe are crucial for success in the tech industry. In critical thinking and problem-solving, I’m working on complex AI-driven product development projects, analyzing problems from multiple angles including user needs, technical feasibility, and first principles. By November 2024, I aim to complete a comprehensive problem analysis report that will demonstrate my ability to propose innovative solutions and evaluate them against existing approaches.

Communication skills form another cornerstone of my professional development. I’m creating detailed documentation and guides for user feedback handling, aiming to improve team efficiency by 20%. This initiative reflects my understanding that effective communication is essential in bridging the gap between technical development and user needs, particularly as I work toward a product management role.

Perhaps most exciting is my commitment to initiative-taking and entrepreneurial skills. I’m currently developing an AI-driven web application as a minimum viable product (MVP), conducting iterative improvements based on team feedback. This project not only showcases my technical abilities but also demonstrates my capacity to lead and execute on innovative ideas.

My portfolio reflects my commitment to creating practical, user-centric solutions. The MVP I’m developing focuses on implementing AI features that address real user needs, with a target of achieving at least 80% functionality in core features and a user satisfaction score of 7/10 in internal testing. This project exemplifies my ability to balance technical innovation with practical usability.

In parallel, I’m developing a business plan that meets Y Combinator standards, incorporating market analysis and product roadmap development. This work demonstrates my ability to think strategically about technology implementation and business value creation.

Looking ahead, I see myself evolving into a technical leader who can bridge the gap between innovative technology and practical business solutions. My goal is to contribute to projects that not only push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI and software development but also create tangible value for users and organizations.

I’m particularly interested in opportunities that allow me to leverage my strengths in brainstorming and strategic thinking, as identified in my recent HIGH5 assessment. These natural inclinations, combined with my technical skills and business acumen, position me well for roles that require both innovative thinking and practical execution.

Through these goals and portfolio projects, I’m building a foundation for a career that combines technical excellence with business impact. I invite potential collaborators and employers to join me on this journey of innovation and growth in the dynamic field of technology.
